”If there is something hauntingly beautiful or impressive in your dream, just honour it, respect it, recall it, sense it with your body. More will come ”
Eugene Gendlin
Intention of the programme
I can support you on your path of becoming a Focusing Facilitator & Professional.
For me it is of great importance that your path starts with the space it needs before you embark on route. This is why I would like to meet with you on a one to one session to go through our felt sense of getting involved on this journey together before the course starts. We can explore different areas that you or me might be interested in exploring in relation to the course, focusing on your interests and how to bring focusing into your practice, work, life, society. We can spend sometime exchanging listening and focusing with each other.
Prerequisites to join this programme
You will need to have finished the focusing skills course with me or other teacher. We will have a one to one session before the programme starts.
Programme Details – Timing & Rhythm
It is just as natural that your learning experience, your integration and understanding will have its own rhythm. It is my personal interest that this remains as sacred as life it is. Your process will guide you and me to be there as it is within the time it needs.
At the same time the programme will be given within 12 months, and the apprenticeship-mentorship within 24 months. After this time if you are needing more time I will be able to be there for you and your process and we can arrange together a further accompaniment.
One of the most important aspects to become a certified Focusing Professional is that you can sense your readiness within you and that you are in contact with your focusing forward flow and how it wishes to present to the world. Your certification will be awarded when we reach a common ground of readiness by you, me, your secondary mentor and your fellow trainees.
On completion you will be able to:
- Introduce people to focusing
- Offer sessions as a listener – companioning one to one
- Teaching focusing one to one
- Include focusing in your practice ( Focusing oriented Counsellor, Yoga teacher, Therapist, Couch, Artist, Facilitator, Mediator, etc )
Programme framework
Year 1 – Professional Path: Deepening skills and learning to accompany
This first year of the professional training builds on the foundations already cultivated in Sensed Ecology and Focusing.
The focus is on refining your capacity to accompany others; developing presence, precision in listening, and a deeper trust in the implicit process as it unfolds.
We explore how to stay in contact in more complex moments, how to support movement without directing it, and how to hold relational spaces where something genuinely new can emerge.
It is a year of practice, embodiment, and learning to stand more steadily in the role of a companion.
First year format
- 12 online group sessions from September ( from one year to 18 months) – These are practice group sessions. – 2.5 hours sessions.
- 12 Philosophy class – Monthly – 1 hour sessions.
- Monthly recordings to listen on your own time as part of the monthly themes.
- The total training consists of 12 months plus the second year that you will dedicate to work on your memory/project & Practice.
- 2 retreats of 3 days throughout the year
- 12 one to one mentoring sessions
- I would like to highlight that the importance of your own circumstances and your own learning path will guide us to approach each stage of the way with openness and flexibility to meet your own unique territory.
- Weekly partnership practice during the duration of the training ( 30 minutes each partner ). It is of great importance during your apprenticeship to keep a practice that grows in time and frequency.
Year 2 – Maturation: Finding your way of offering – September 2027 to June 2028
The second year opens a space for integration and maturation.
Here, the emphasis is on deepening into complexity, being accompanied in your own process, and allowing your unique way of facilitating to take shape in your own creative way.
Through deep exploration and ongoing support, this year invites a transition, from practicing Focusing to living it as a way of being with others in the world.
A gentle ripening into offering, grounded in your own lived experience.
Second year format
The training unfolds in a rhythm that supports both collective learning and individual process.
Each month includes:
- One group session (3 hours), where we come together to explore, practice, and learn in a shared field
- 10 individual sessions (1:1), offering a dedicated space for your own process and integration
This structure allows the learning to be both held in community and rooted in your own lived experience, supporting a steady and embodied unfolding over time to complete your Focusing certification.
